SMH: Janelle Monae Looks Like a Chimp Climbing Trees and Sh*t
Posted by Bossip Staff
Janelle Monae had a show recently where she lost all sense of being human, jumped in a pool, and climbed up a tree…we know…crazy, huh?

This girl is the next real thing! Grammy time!
First?! She was feeling her own show more than the crowd. lol
………….
BLANK STAIR…
I STILL LIKE HER
SOMEBODY IS BOUT TO FLIP ON THE USE OF THE WORD CHIMP
BESIDES Y DA ***** YALL POSTIN HER SHE AINT NO DAMN KIM K…..DA REAL CHIMP
she better than solange…at least she’s original
Uhm..ooookaaayy..
Other than the pool and tree climbing, something about her reminds me of Grace Jones.
Trippin.
I’m glad she was feeling the performance because I sure wasn’t.
LOL@That Buffalo stance
Why she got hair like Sideshow Bob?
she needs to sit her andrea 1.1 thousand ***** down somewhere. *****ody is gonna listen to that shi@, nor her weird *****. dont rush out and buy hush puppy stock either, cuz there will not be a run on them shi#s
Oh My Damn!
in this world of free downloads, all the folks that are not listening to her for free, are not gonna listen for a fee
This is what happen when people imitate Prince!!!
On the brightside…here’s a chick that Nas could rebound with…too soon
Definitley a croos between Grace Jones and the newer version of Lauryn Hill.
Yea she weird but original. And she has an awesome voice. She has a song that is on my daily playlist called “sincerely jane”
That ***** is fool!!!
Is this punk rock music? Is it coming back?
Mock Rock Star
On the brightside…here’s a chick that Nas could rebound with…too soon
————————————
*DIES*
leave her alone…MA CAN OUTBlOW MOST OF THESE BUBBLE GUM BROADS YALL give such praise to on a daily basis anyday…climbin trees jumpin lakes pickin cotton…WHATEVER…all that coonery jazz bs yall tryin to throw at her..but failin to realize the girl is SIMPLY BEING HERSELF..AN INDIVIUAL…FEARLESS AT THAT…and anybody that hate on that obviously has no idea about the freedom of being individual is like..MUST REALLY SUCK TO BE A SUCKUP AND OR A FOLLOWER….
I wonder had a white person stated that ignorant bs how yall would probably be tryin to throw the political BS in the air??? like yall do when somebody so called hatin on Mr.President???
Hypocrites.
Haters, I used to like bossip now you guys just bash for no reason. were you at the show? If anyone has gone to any of Janelle Monae shows you know she’s action packed on the stage and off whether she stage dives, paints, swim in pool, or climb a tree… you dont know real entertainment.
What’s the name of the song she’s performing here? I’ll check it. I’ve never heard of her before.
Wierd. Very Wierd.
But she goot some tig ole bitties
THIS CHICK IS TALENTED BUT FAKE AS HELL!! SORTA LIKE SOLANGE……EVERYONE WANTS TO BE KNOWN AS “THE WIERD GIRL…THAT ATTRACTS ATTENTION” BUT THAT ***** ONLY WORKED FOR AMY WINEHOUSE COS AMY IS REAL…THE TRUTH. SOLANGE AND JANELLE MONAE JUST WANT THE ATTENTION. U CAN TELL JANELLE WAS EXHAUSTED COS SHE TRIED TOO HARD. TRYING TO BE A CROSS BETWEEN PATTI LABELLE/ERYKAH BADU/AND GRACE JONES…..***** AINT WORKIN. THEY JUST CREATE THESE PERSONAS TO DRAW ATTENTION. WHOS GONNA BELIEVE JANELLE AND SOLANGE REALLY ARE THAT WAY IN PRIVATE???
why we hating? she was in the zone… let her live!
I LOVE HER VOICE and her performances are always high energy!!! She’s DIFFERENT which we desperately need today! I’m so sick of the Beyonce’s, the Ciara’s, Ashanti’s, and any other person that either can’t sing or whose songs and albums sound THE SAME!!
To me she’s the female version of Andre 3000 from Outkast. ROCK ON GIRL!!!!!
So who is she? Seriously, not trying to be funny. I can’t watch the video at work.
she can do whatever she wants. leave her alone.
Again, can someone tell me the name of the song she’s singing here? I want to go listen to it.
ANSWER ME OR FEEL MY WRATH!!!!
*starts grabbing lightning bolts like Zeus*
Janelle is the greatest! I guess some people have never seen true talent.
lol@84 calling shaking a tree and diving into a pool talent..come on…lmao
Metropolis was the best thing that dropped in 08 and it wasn’t even a full CD just an EP can’t wait for the next installment!!! that brawd is the truth …phcuk what you heard!
This is what Rockstars do… she’s waaay better than these lame shows R&B divas put on…
THESE ARTIST GET IN THE GAME . START HANGING AROUND DIFFERENT CROWD AND START MESSING WIT THAT *****E AND START BUGGGGGIN LOL
SMH cause I haven’t seen her in concert yet, lol, Miss Monae is DAT CHICK. Do what you do J., your stuff always brightens my mood.
LEAVE IT A BLOG OWNED BY WHITE PEOPLE TO CALL A BLACK WOMAN A TREE CLIMBING CHIMP!!!
YOU MIGHT HAVE PUT THE LAST NAIL IN YOUR OWN COFFIN THIS TIME BOSSIP….EVERYBODY NEEDS TO SNAPSHOT THIS POST…PRINT IT OFF AND FORWARD IT TO AS MANY NEWS OUTLETS AS POSSIBLE…
A BUNCH OF COWARD ***** *****S SO DESPERATE FOR A JOB THAT THEY’LL POST ANYTHING THAT YT TELLS THEM TOO.
THE ONLY MISTAKE MONAE EVER MADE WAS SIGNING WITH BAD BOY.
I like her music, she is a good performer. I guess if she had some fake ***** weave down her back acting like she’s in heat folks would like her. But when you try to actually be creative you get mocked. And I agree with you LadyT, Bad boy was a huge mistake.
I dont like the word “chimp” but that look did make me LMAO!!
Dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i’m just glad she didn’t get her ***** electricuted (did i spell that right?), going from the pool straight back to the mic. that would have been tragic, FUNNY AS HELL, but tragic. do yo thang then girl.
*tosses lightning bolts*
WHAT
IS
THE NAME
OF THIS SONG?!?!?!?!
That crap was just noisy! Freakin’ voodoo priestess and *****… People better be careful listening to that crap! Might be some “Serpent and the Rainbow” type of stuff going on at her concerts.
; )
And somebody pleas tell “Me” the name of that song! LOL
Crazy? Yes. Chimp-like? Slow your roll, bossip. You’re sounding a little O’Reilly-esque.
Violet Stars Happy Hunting.
In case anyone else wanted to know.
Yeah that was sort of crazy but I guess she’s just doing her. I think she biting a little off Andre 3k style (trying to be the female Dre) but that’s just me. And why do I keep seeing her in that same black and white outfit?
She is talented. I’m still scratching my head as to why on earth she would sign a deal with Bad Boy. Doesn’t everyone know by now that is career suicide. No wonder her album still hasn’t been released. Diddy’s too busy screwing around with that Making the Band crap that he doesn’t have the time or sense to concentrate on a real artist like Janelle. But being Diddy that doesn’t surprise me.
please dont even entertain this malarchy anymore this is just disgusting!….and funny
To me she’s the female version of Andre 3000 from Outkast. ROCK ON GIRL!!
^^^exactly. she is on some different ish and most ppl can’t appreciate it. even when they complain about everything looking or sounding the same from other artists.
@ Me
The name of the song is Violet Stars Happy Hunting!!!. Her EP album is eccentric (not a bad thing, IMO), and displays t-a-l-e-n-t…lacking in most of todays’ force-fed, corporative bull*****.
@Me
Oh well, I see you beat me to the punch. Type Type Revolution Typing Test best refund my money…LOL.

———————————————————-
She was featured on a couple of tracks from the Outkast Idlewild soundtrack.
@ RiotGirL
LOL yeah, I found it. Thank you for posting though!!! <3
Home Girlie is so good wit her music type of music that got soul and meaning
i dont like the fact you guys referred 2 her as a chimp…shes kinda rock n roll thats how they act..shes original..anyway u could have used another word besides chimp smh
I like this song, I’ll check more of her stuff.
WTF WAS THAT!!!???? I’M LOST…PLZ SOMEBODY EXPLAIN!!
omg, just watched the video. this chick is nuts
lmfao wtf… she went n the pool.!! lmao.
m momz like her. i neva cared4 he music!
she’s really feelin’ it, I see. Cant knock her style, i like how she straight poured water on her head
I take my earlier statement back. This chick is bat ***** crazy
not my style but she does not deserve to be called a chimp!
when she was pouring the water, it just seemed like she was trying to hard to look crazy and be different.
does she have any slow music where I can really check out her voice?
Damn she sucks…..
Those dance moves look like something Andre 200 did on a few of his performace. Exactly like it.
ALL I GOT TO SAY IS…SHE GONE BEEN DONE GOT ELECTRICUTED..
ha,ha,ha
@denayk.did u just say she’s better than solange?? lol,you’re a hater.solange may be a little out there but she is nowhere compared to the craziness of this phsycho.
black people are racists against themselves calling eachother chimps,coons,monkeys,and the ever popular term “*****”.it’s ridiculous.
@hbic, *****, youre a *****in sellout!!! you probably look like a *****ing porch monkey…and yes ho im white and proud!! WHITE POWER! WHITE POWER!!
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
I don’t like the use of the word chimp. This is racist as well as abusive. If this were a light skinned or black woman Bossip would of refrained from its usage.
Shayla looks like a black orangutan! she looks like the female 50 cent
I would expect a Hymie to use such derogatory language to describe black people. Isnt the owner of Bossip a *****got as well…..get real Bossip. You all need more black editors thats why you lost your number spot.
@hbic
yes but we are black. I would never call a hispanic a spic or a white person a honkey to their face (unless angry) because I know its inflammatory.
I decided I didn’t care. But, it’s an E for effort.
lol@koolaid..shut your dumb blooger ***** up…we are getting more hits than ever…goof troop member..lmao
she put her all in her show. thats what an artist is. go hard or go home.
Reminds me of the Talking Heads. Leave her alone! She’s doing her own thing.
She alright. She’s definately not your paint-by-numbers R&B Diva with the big weaves. I can respect that. Now if only she can get out of those black and white outfits.
leave her alone…MA CAN OUTBlOW MOST OF THESE BUBBLE GUM BROADS YALL give such praise to on a daily basis anyday…climbin trees jumpin lakes pickin cotton…WHATEVER…all that coonery jazz bs yall tryin to throw at her..but failin to realize the girl is SIMPLY BEING HERSELF..AN INDIVIUAL…FEARLESS AT THAT…and anybody that hate on that obviously has no idea about the freedom of being individual is like..MUST REALLY SUCK TO BE A SUCKUP AND OR A FOLLOWER….
I wonder had a white person stated that ignorant bs how yall would probably be tryin to throw the political BS in the air??? like yall do when somebody so called hatin on Mr.President???
Hypocrites.
****
for real.
most people are followers. Unless someone like Kanya goes out and says it’s cool it’s gonna be wack to a lot of people.
She’s VERY orginal and who cares if she’s feeling her own performance, she loves what she does.
a chimp?….So u guys really are white, huh?
she’s tries to hard.
ahahahaha….the girl done lost her mind
I am a friend of Janelle and the Wondaland Arts Society. She is a very talented individual and has a wonderful talent and a p*****ion for what she does, that’s all. She is original,unlike most artist out today. Not trying to be like Dre 3000, if you did your research you’d know he is who put her on via the soundtrack for the movie he had a while back. Why do peeps always have to hate what is against the curve…had she been on that Beyonce/Britney Spears BS she would still have haters though but geez, stop being so closed minded sometimes peeps.
I LLLLLOOOOOVVVEEEE YOU JANELLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You always make my heart smile!!!:)
I really like her voice, but the tree climbing and the jumping in the pool, all to be topped off with pouring water on her head!
Wowzers!
“Blank stare!”
yall are so ignorant its embar*****ing. Janelle Monae is raw talent…sings better that ya diva chicks and love sex and magic… spread legs apart and show pum pum on camera chicks..grow the ***** up dumb *****s.. blk ppl are the worst i swear..plus janelle is my wife
Like how can you hate on her???? Really people?? She’s soooo talented and so freakin adorable:)
I’m all for eccentric and originality but, hot damn that pushed limit. lol @ 3:36, I’d pay money to see someone do that dance at the club
You are not black so you do not understand. What’s up the chimp *****?obviously you are a hymie writer for Bossip so you have no clue.
charlieblanko
I have reported your racist ways to many black websites…..Hymie!!!!!!

***************************************************I know I did, did you? This ***** is ridiculous and these *****s have lost their minds! Enough is Enough. I have put Bossip on blast to as many websites as I could……I hope you do the same.
Y*B*F* is the number one black website by the peoples choice! This is my last day on Bossip. Bossip needs more black writers. Whoever wrote this article should be fired promptly……racist non black *****s!!!!!!
How dare you wrinkly skinned honkey’s diss such a talented beautiful black women!
For those of you who do not know, Bossip is not black owned. Bossip is owned by a gay white dude who has an Obsession with racist Paris Hilton.
See that’s what happens when you smoke sherm!! She was hot!! LMAO!
bossip, step your game up. Used to be a time when u could get comment traffic without the selective (racist) mysogyny.
Damn…
smfh@brandy…***** do u have 21 personalities?? i see u like to talk to ya damn self!!! Take yo ese ***** outta here!!! go back to the *****in zoo and take HoneyChile’s big bertha ***** wit’chu!
I don’t get this girl/woman. I just don’t get her. I won’t reveal my level of eduaction, but I should get her, I just don’t.
Can someone please explain it to me like I am a 3 year old. I’ll suck my thumb and all.
I don’t know what all the fuss is over this girl. She can’t sing, she can’t dress. Her performance is wack, she is a female Andre 3000 impersonator. Puffy gave her a shot but we all know where his artist wind up.
*****IN WEIRDO IM NOT A FAN AT ALL LOL.
G_Smooth1
Those dance moves look like something Andre 200 did on a few of his performace. Exactly like it.
*****************************************************
Sorry that caught my eye and i couldn’t help but laugh at it. (whispering) It’s Andre 3000 honey. LOL
As for Janell – I have her EP and i must say to each their own… I personally dig her style even though this video makes me think that the girl must be on something but i thin you people are forgetting something – Musicians are out there to ENTERTAIN. I bet you guys never saw that one comming did you?
The girls, origional – even though origionality right now is really recycled (nothin’s new under the sun) BUT she’s different. Compared to the people around her right now she stands out and that’s always a plus.
Thumbs up to Janell, but girl seriously – at least take lower doses coz DAMN! Still dig you though.
As for Bossip being a white owned site… If it bothers you folks that much STOP COMING – A sites only as good as the amount of hits it gets.
I guess she’s broke like everybody else at Bad Boy. Same gear everytime I see her.
She look like the weird crazy ***** from my 8th grade cl***** from over 16 years ago.
Man ORIGINAL?? She reminds me of Grace Jones..WTF
outta A.L.L. of ‘badboy’ recording artists’….she is thee only 1 with pure genuine ORIGINALITY pple!True she is ‘different’ as well as ‘unique’, and she does place me in the mind of ‘Grace Jones’, and that my freind is called ‘ORIGINALITY’!~ Sean Combs is not gonna let this artist outta his fold fa sure!MORE POWER TO YOU GIRL!~*HIGH FIVES!!!*
Lol @ Deirdre B Pride…….”I guess she’s broke like everybody else at Bad Boy. Same gear everytime I see her.”
She keeps her body in tip-top and I didnt know she had that much hair =o shes gorgeous and original…not the kind of original I like lol but original nonetheless
she needs her meds quick ie seroquel.this is so contrived we dont believe you you need more people
